    I last went to get a phone in (late) 2021.

    I did not have one for about 2 years prior so I basically needed to go in store to get one.

    1. The prices are ridiculous nowdays

    2. They weren't even carrying anything older than a year. Straight up trying to force you to start at ~$500-700 if you wanna use Apple or Android OS

      Don't buy from the store. Order a cheap unlocked midrange. I got a OnePlus Nord N10 5G (love phone names) a year or two ago for like $300.
